But putting them both into the 1 large enclosure would NOT be a good idea!

Keeping different species togethor opens your mind to the concept of creating hybrids when the snakes are of breeding age, hybridising is the lowest form of herpetology decadence.
It may also pay to do some research on the particular needs of Diamond pythons, they are somewhat different to coastal carpets in their UVB and seasonal heating requirements, though i wont go into this as i'm not a diamond expert by a long shot.

Not to say that you are wrong as that is your opinion but to me and many others they can be awesome snakes.
Anyways, I have kept seperate species together as well as same species but as Parko has mentioned you will need to look at the difference in specific keeping requirements of each species. Make sureyou seperate them for feedings as well |

But you are right it is getting old and tired, much as i am also, so i'll respect your right to be decadent, woops i mean ''different''. Lol
The important thing is that crush the turtle learns of the differences between his/her coastal and diamond to ensure it's long term health and we can all agree on that.

I had housed these snake together all of the seven years i had them. Dispite being warned and warned not to keep them together i said it would never happen to me.
I know many would disagree with me when i say you should never house snakes together as they are solitary creature in the wild and only come together to mate I know some will brumate together in the same place they do separate.
Keeping snakes in separate enclosures is the only true way to stop snakes eating snake they do eat each other that's fact.
Believe me it is not a very good feeling to go out to check your 2 snakes only to find 1 fat snake. year's of work down the drain never will there be a chance to breed that blood line gone gone gone . chantelles birthday 2006 102.jpgchantelles birthday 2006 117.jpg |
